Hey guys

I am in the process of buysing a 93 R32 GTST track car (picking up next weekend) and the guy selling me thiecar has sent me a message with an issue trying to start it.
He is fairly mechanical but at a loss

He has given me the below info.
Just wanted to run by you guys to see what you think.
The car is pretty cheap so am still thinking of buying it, but just be nice to know up front what I may be in for.
Im pretty much mechanically a Noob, so it will end up at a mates workshop as soon as i get it.

Thanks in advance

Jason

Well Jason, just spent 8 hrs with my mate with no joy sorry to say ,

we went over everything  we could think of and still couldn't get it to fire,

turns over fine and has  power to plugs and power to injectors,
fuel pressure is good,
Cleaned the plugs and gapped them to .8, put 20 litres of fresh fuel in it,

maff cleaned and checked,
even took cas out turned it by hand to check it runs injectors and plugs, had spark and hadn't broken the key way, even  tried another one,
tried getting codes but i disconnected the battery to charge it and the computer reset, it's showing 5&5 which in no faults which doesn't help.

 Without being a complete nissan wiz i can only suspect it has either chucked the ecu or it has done a control box which was likely on its way out which was creating the problem of running rich and setting the cat overtemp off.

Sorry mate i can't do much more without taking it to a specialist which if i was running it still i would.

could be a simple fix if you know an expert but i have too much on at the moment to keep going on it.

Id say sitting around for a few months (12 months i believe) hasnt helped the cause either, probably a dry joint or something stupid like that.

only other thing i can think of is it could have an air lock in the fuel system, long shot but not much else to check off.

      Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.

      Blue Smoke from exhaust, RB25DE+T

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      No "could" about it.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
